Man, oh man! I like the looks of that. I'll be anxious to see the specs. I think Michael is right...looks like it is held up by a bed frame.

The Blade is 11" x 2". The knife 15.875" overall

W2 with Twist Damascus fittings.

A magnificent piece of Elephant Ivory provides the icing for the cake.

The Ivory taper was purchaced at a Guild show in the early
70's. It's been stored since then, and occasionally pondered
over, until Peter and I started talking about this project.

The back side of the ivory is yellowed, with a few checks and lighter
streaks, as though the tusk had laid on the ground for a year or two.

I'm glad we used it on this piece.

Thanks for the comments....
